@DrArouet @Finch I have watched most of Jessica's videos, they've helped me a lot. #adhd

I decided a while ago I was not gonna "eat frogs first". I'd turn all frogs into princes instead.

Look here:

Not sure I like the promo with the vid and a couple of other things, but the facts seem right. How doing the horrible for a reward can make it harder to do THE THING.

As an animal psychologist, we talk about "frustration". Looking for a reward... it isn't there (yet)! Feeling non-reward during the actual work is in effect a punishment.

Which got me looking about for somewhere where the government is not run by thieves.

Then thinking about how some people in rich nations might as well be living in a third world country and others in third world countries are living in palaces. And then how there are people living in palaces because governments are run by thieves.

Then I told myself to stop thinking!

And when you train Russian dogs to explode none-Russian tanks, but all you have to practice on is Russian tanks... Which I think illustrates your point perfectly.

Ooo, thank you. Sherlock, I do like Sherlock.

Drs office tho? It's a grotto. Get up, walk about, read the info posters on the wall, think vicious thoughts about anyone called in before you are, decide which disease they've all got...

I'd really welcome some way to deal with queuing at the supermarket or putting fuel in the car.

Excellent move! @adhdasiangirl
I've managed to convince myself that a housework break is a reward for computer work. And it sorta isn't a lie. 5 mins wiping something is a pleasant break from clickety clack on a keyboard yes?

It's the #adhd at least I think it is, that means I let people down, I'm slow at getting things done you know?

This person and that poking me with virtual sticks to get this done and that done and I'm working hard as I can you know?

I'm trying to come to terms with backlogs and messages wondering where this and that is.

Am I alone?

@adhdcanadian I'm no Masto-expert, but I think I read to save server space, just link to a video held on youtube or wherever. I did try to find the post I saw, but failed.
